1 Make sure the unit is not in synchronized shock mode. The light is on
when the unit is in synchronized shock mode.
2 If the unit discharges internally (that is, the energy display decrements slowly
then beeps three times and displays the screen message DEFIB DISARMED)
verify proper connections from the patient to the defibrillator. This includes con-
nections to the pads/paddles adaptor cable if one is being used. Also check for
worn or broken areas along the cables.
3 Press again, wait for the Charge Done indicators.
4 Press the Shock buttons again.
5 If the unit remains unable to shock, turn the Energy Select control to the Moni-
tor On or Off (Standby) position and use a back-up defibrillator.
6 Press to print an event summary and keep any ECG strips from the
defibrillator for later evaluation.
7 Alert appropriate service personnel as soon as possible.
